And this spot reserved for prizes....
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The first Grand Prize is a full MSA course from Pacific Riding School. Rachel won it last year, and even received some extra help at no charge.
This year I'm adding the Maintenance 101 as well, all you need to get started.

As always, the incredibly generous Gio and Troy from WestCoastSuperbikeSchool have offered up an ART course, and a Race School. These guys are the best. And if you want to change one for the other, no worries! The most fun you can have on 2 wheels.

And I think we'll draw for this goodie! I hinted, and received  Here it is........

Hi, Bernie
As per your request, this email confirms that Sixtus Sport Industries Inc wishes to provide a prize donation for your upcoming Daytona Party on March 9th, 2008 at the Shark Club on Georgia St.
The prize will be a set of leather riding gear consisting set of:

1 ea

[Bernie]

And this spot is where I tell you what/why/etc!
cheers

[Bernie]

If you have corporate cash looking for a good home, I can help!

If you have items you would want to donate, and expose your products to this crowd, please pm me.

100% of the gate, draws, etc goes to the BC Children's Hospital, Oncolgy Ward. For kids with cancer and blood disorders.

The goal? $10,000. I figure we have a great summer, every year, riding motorcycles. Surely we can spare a couple of bucks so these kids can have maybe one weekend of being a kid, having fun. Simple.

Can't make the party? Below you'll see a link to my donation page. If you could be so kind, any amount is appreciated, and an instant receipt is available for all donations above $20.

I'm still working on some prizes, and I'll keep adding them to the list above.
Remember, all the dealers kind enough to sell tickets are usually very generous with gift certificates and door prizes. And I'm not talking about t-shirts and caps!!! Good stuff ;-)

And I just got a nice little treat, t-shirts and programs (with some autographs) flown up by the track announcer for me to give away. The voice of racing in North America, Pat Gonsalves, he got me into racing in the first place, so long ago. He's so good, I signed up for race school that day!


Okay, tickets are out there (thanks Robert and Dallas), so help me out please! It really makes a difference.

[Bernie]

And someone just added a few helmets to the pile.
Ya can't win if you don't get a ticket

[Bernie]

Okay, another prize specially for racers and track riders, Saturnin, whose photos everybody loves, has offered up another original prize....
You own photographer for the day! Yes, he will concentrate on you when you're out on the track (different places), and grab some candid pit shots and team pics as well. The photos are yours to use whatever way you want. Immortalised, and he'll make ya look fast ;-)
Thanks Sat.

[Bernie]

Okay, Kimpex just donated a Shark helmet. The pile is big boys and girls, and getting bigger!.


As I didn't see any donations made on my website, I guess you've all got your tickets! See you Sunday.......

[Robert]

Hey Bernie,

I just prepared 2 sports bags full of goodies for you. I will have a list of items packed in the bags soon.

I will print the list of items for you to attach to the bags for Sunday.

That way you have 2 nice goodie bags from TGAA to hand out instead of 30 single items

Cheers

Robert

Each Sport Bag is filled to the max:

[Bernie]

Holy shit, thanks Robert, amazing.

I'll add to the growing pile of goodies  

From Yamaha Canada, $250 in Yamabucks, good as cash at any Yamaha dealer.
And, again super generosity from Whistler Blackcolm and Graham Turner, lift tickets, a new snowboard (the last one was a limited edition Ducati Burton!), and he's still digging ;-)

I will probably have almost $1,500 in gift certificates by the time we're done Sunday.

[Horst]

I am going to make the effort to come down saturday night , its always a pleasure and certainly the cause is fantastic.

Just making sure, sushi is Saturday, Party is Sunday.

[Bernie]

Okay, I love EVERYBODY that donates, but some people really make me want to do this thing forever. Despite the lack of sleep!

SImon's Auto in Langley has donated 2 $100 gift certificates for the prize pool.
And one of my PRS students just sent me a pair of Canucks tickets, his own personal ones, to add to the pile to help raise more dough.

Check out the list now, it's HUGE!!

Sweet. And thanks.
